This weekend was General Conference. I always look forward to April and October of each year for General Conference weekend. It is always so wonderful to listen to the Prophet and the apostles. The gospel means everything to me. I know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church of God. I know my Savior Lives. My heart swells every time I say that. I know it because I feel it and it's something I cannot deny. I know with out a doubt that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. I've read every page of that book and have found out for myself. I've prayed to my Heavenly Father and asked him and received my answer. I made it a goal for myself when I was 16 years old to at least read one verse from the Book of Mormon everyday. I can literally feel the difference in my day between days that I read and days that I do not. Daily scripture study and prayer really is like putting on the armor of God to protect us from the adversary. I absolutely love the Book of Mormon, it brings me so much joy. I also know that God hears and answers our prayers. I know that he knows us individually and loves us so much. He wants the best for us. He is always there for us and is reaching his hand toward us. I know that Joseph Smith was a true Prophet of God and that he saw the Father and his Son Jesus Christ and restored the gospel. I am so grateful for him and his example. I know that we have a living prophet today, President Thomas S. Monson. I am so grateful for the opportunity I had this weekend to hear the words of the Prophet and his apostles. My heart is so full and I feel so much peace. This gospel is peace. I know in my life everything may change around me, but one thing that will ALWAYS stay constant is my Savior. I know in my life I can't find any joy anywhere like I can with the peace of the gospel. I know it's true.
Here is a recording I did of one of my favorite hymns "Be Still, My Soul."
